About this listen

 Two friends, read and chat about murder mysteries. We investigate a real-life case using advice from murder mystery authors. We review a book, find the sleuthing tips and hopefully, solve the case. We also crown our very own Queens of Crime, beyond Agatha Christie. And we have a feline sidekick, called Hercule. Come for the mystery, stay for the mischief...Maddy Berry and Hannah Knight Art Literary History & Criticism

    Dec 24 2025
    Join us for a special one-off bonus episode, an end of year Shermozzle!In this special festive episode, we report from the home of British Library Crime Classics, taking a trip down the memory lane of 2025 and bringing back all of our usual features. We read and discussed Murder at the Theatre Royale by Ada Moncrieff, discussed Wake Up Dead Man as well as Frauds in TV Tattle, and got some new intel from Han on Queens of Crime. We also hear from Mads about how our feline mascot settles into his new digs. Other chat includes a sleuthing victory from Mads, the perils of gout and, as always, nemeses. As would only be right for this special episode, we find a use case for the National Archives Currency Converter.

    15. Blanche Passes Go - Barbara Neely
    Jun 30 2025

    Join us for our final episode and the last case for one of our all-time favourite sleuths. Our 100th episode is on ⁠⁠Blanche Passes Go by Barbara Neely⁠.

    No spoilers- we do not reveal whodunnit.

    In Mystery Business, we return to a short-lived investigation and cases that never made it to air.

    In Case Notes, we come to a conclusion in our 5 year investigation into the missing salmon. There are wild theories, suprising reveals and puzzling problems. Our most regular guest, the ever lovely Wine Butler/Him Indoors also shares his verdict.

    FYI- Martin is Han's brother.

    In TV Tattle, we review the bird watching brilliance of Detective Cordelia Cupp in The Residence⁠⁠⁠. We don't reveal whodunnit.

    In Purrcule Pawrot, there is the perfect end to the saga of Hercule's ultimate adversary.

    We also discuss aphrodiasiac cookbooks, matching outfits and problems with asparagus.

    AOB- This is the final episode (for now). Thank you very much for listening, mes amies. It has been a hoot. And if you'd like to celebrate the end of the show, then do donate to⁠ Refuge⁠. We would appreciate it.
